    Summary

    When Bobby had arranged the camping trip, it was with a particular goal in mind, one which he had expressed to his wife early on in the planning.

    “And how are you going to make that happen? They’ll get a whiff of you interfering and it’ll be game over,” Athena had commented, but despite sharing her namesake’s wit, she didn’t understand the 118 quite as well as he did.

    “I don’t have to do any interfering. All I need to do is get them there, and the rest will work itself out.”

    And he was right. A little too right.

    Secrets are spilled and truths brought to light when the 118 and their partners go on a camping trip.

    Oh, and there’s malaphors. Lots of malaphors.

    Summary

    “Yeah,” Eddie says, and it comes out more tired than he means it to. “The couch is a goner.”
    “No,” Buck says, dramatically offended. “I love your couch.”
    Eddie snorts, closing the fridge door with a soft click. “Let’s see what happens before we plan the funeral.”
    They’re standing in Buck’s kitchen now. Buck leans against the counter, arms crossed, and Eddie props himself against the fridge. There’s maybe two feet between them, less, if either of them breathes too deep. The silence is comfortable, weighted but not heavy.
    “You know,” Eddie says after a beat, “I’ve slept under worse conditions in the army.”
    “Yes, Eddie,” Buck nods, rolling his eyes. “I know my apartment is better than a warzone.” He says it dryly, but there’s fondness behind it. “But we’re not in a warzone,” he adds. “And we’re not kids. So let’s act like the adults we are and go to sleep.”

    or: Eddie loses his house, shares a bed with Buck, has an existential crisis --really wants to kiss Buck-- and finally gets his man
